Abstract: Milk is considered to be the 'ideal food' because of its abundant nutrients required by both infants and adults. It is one of the best sources of protein, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. Possible reasons behind adulteration of milk may include demand and supply gap, perishable nature of milk, low purchasing capability of customer and lack of suitable detection tests. India is one of the largest consumer and producer of milk in the world. A recent study by India's food safety regulator (FSSAI) found that 68.4% of milk samples examined did not meet its standards. Our innovation is focused on early detection of milk adulterants and ensures the quality of milk for the consumers. We have come up with an IoT solution that will consistently track sensitive and crucial parameters of milk and uploads the parameters into the website by performing data analytics so that user can have a track of their consuming milk.
